Mr.. Greeley's Sense OF Humor.

Mr.. Greeley's sense of humor was
allied to genius. Those who tried to
Joke with him to his disadvantage were
generally worsted. One evening an
associate editor of The Tribune accost-
ed him rs he came to his desk with
some such question as did you know,
Mr.. Greeley, that you made Il dreadful
blunder in one of your statistical edi-
torials, this morning?" mo, how was
was itp" asked Mr.. Greeley. "Why,
YOU said something about 'Heidseck
and champagne. Don't you know
Heidseck is champagne?" "Well, .
said Mr. Greeley, quietly, Il am ythe
only editor on this paper that could
make that mistake" On another oc-
casion a person who wished to have a
little fun at the expense of his consist
ency, said in a group where Mr..
Greeley was standing: Mr.. Greeley
and l gentlemen, are old friends. We
have drunk good deal of brandy and
water together" Yes" said Mr.
Greeley, THAT is true enough. You
drank the brandy and | drank the
water" Tobacco was his especial dis.
like, and friend of mine knowing
this well, while handing around bo1
of cigars to few who were present
with Mr.. Greeley, took especial pains
to hand him the box with great osten
tation. NO." said Mr.. Greeley, -
thank you. | haven't got so low dowr
rs that yet. l only drink and swear.

A Tea-TaSter.

In one of the pretty summer houses
on the bluff, in front of the Rowland,
youngish-looking man sat this morn
ing peering through an opera-glass
directed at group of girls bathing.
He wore suit of white serge, with a
dark gray flannel shirt tied loosely
with sailor knot, q straw hat, and
around his waist was a wide cloth belt
that had a lot of gold cording on it.
l was told that it was some sort
of a Chinese scarf. There was blase
air OF uncOncern about him, as if he
had seen everything worth seeing in
this world and was only studying the
specimens of feminine anatomy before
him because he had nothing else to do.
He was looking through a powerful
set of lenses though, for an acquaint-
ance to whom he condescendingly
suggested a trial assured me that he
could easily see every stitching in the
bathing suits. Il would not have
come down here" said the young man
with the lorgnets, eff | had not re-
membered that the prettiest forms
| saw anywhere last summer were here.
It's really the only pleasure [ have"
ne added, adjusting the glasses at a
rather plump girl in white flannel
bathing dress.
by Joe, she's a sumner" he ex-
claimed, after giving her thorough
inspection through the glasses. Then,
peering at her again, he said, in a
tone of disappointment, ''Ah, but
she's wearing stays"
All unconscious of the fact that
every move they made was being
watched and commented on, the girls
jumped and romped around in the
surf, but the tired young man kept on
in his peculiar occupation. He is at
it every morning, [ am told. No one
knows how he spends the rest of his
time. He has seen everything, been
everywhere, and there is a constant
look of ennui and depression on his
face as if he thought that life were
scarcely worth the living. He is Il
queer Individual and he follows a
strange pursuit 1t is tasting tea. He
samples it for half dozen OF the big
gest houses in the country and earns
about $50, 900 a year by it. He has the
reputation of knowing more about teas
than any one else in the country. II is
at the sacrifice of his stomach and
good digestion that he has earned the
reputation, for both are ruined, though
he is still Il young man.
The only thing he really enjoys in
the way of nourishment is cup of tea
that he brews himself every morning.
1t is made of leaves that in China are
used only for the Imperial family and
cost here $25 a pound. He boils it
over a gas jet, then pours it into the
thinnest sort of blue China cup-al-
most as Thin as a champagne glass.
Then he sips it as he lies in bed, and
it brings on dreamy sensation, which,
he declares, is the one delight of his
life. 1t lasts from two to three hours
and then passes away. Unlike opium,
no bad effects are left behind, for he
is over it as soon as he moves about
and shakes off the drowsiness. Then
he takes his opera-glasses and goes
over in the summer-house to study the
anatomy of the Long Branch girl

some Gospel for Overly Pious Politi-
clans.
To the Editor Of the Republic:
For the law was given by Moses. but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ
Early in the work of Jesus Christ on earth
he found class of men high up in the
church as leaders and teachers who were
opposed to his teaching of mercy, and in
order TO catch Him they caught a woman in
the act of adultery. and they brought her
TO Him and, stating her crime, said, "Moses
commanded such to be stoned. Now. what
do you say?' He that is without sin let
him cast the first stone" was the reply.
and there was not a stone thrown at her.
They found where the shoe pinched They
had to get rid of sin. But these scribes
and phariSees were equal to the
emergency. They would devote themselves
to prayer They prayed everywhere, and
especially on the street corners. where they
could be seen of men. and it was not long
until they could stand up and tell the Lord
how good they were-not like other men
not like that poor sinner of publican.
They were now without sin and were ready
to stone anyone who broke the law of
Moses. as though Jesus Christ had made a
mistake in introducing grace and truth As
the foundation stone in his religion.
This class of scribes and pharisees are
not all dead yet and they are praying and
telling the Lord how good they are and
that they are ready to demonstrate TO Him
that their plan of converting the world by
law is much superior to. His of grace and
truth .'Only give us law and we will make
it so hot for sinners that they will be more
than ready TO give up sim
